Name Availability

Name Availability - Selecting Your Company Name
The Name Availability Rule expressed below and how the Registrar uses the rule to approve names is not a difficult process. To avoid issues with regards to the name of your company, when applying for a license simply review and follow the information below:
R4-9-109 NAME OF LICENSEE OR APPLICANT
A licensee shall do business under the name on the license issued and ensure that the same name is used on the license bond.
If a corporation is doing business in the name of a division or using a trade name, the corporation shall ensure that all names are shown on any application.
If applying for a license or a name change, a corporation shall submit written evidence that it is in good standing or that the new name has been filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The Registrar shall grant a request for name change if there is no change in the legal entity, the name is available, and the request is submitted in writing, together with the required license fee and a cash deposit or bond rider that reflects the name change.
The Registrar may elect to reject an application, refuse to issue a license, or deny the name change of an existing license, based on a review of whether the proposed name is identical or so similar to that of an existing licensee or license applicant that it may cause confusion.
The Registrar shall not accept an application or issue a license if it contains the name of a building trade or craft for which the contractor is not qualified.
